How to Do Cool Effects on iMovie

This video is requested by Brenda Adelman. She is my new buddy from the Video Blogging Challenge community at Google+. Tomorrow (April 11th) is the LAST day for our challenge. But Bonnie Jean is planning on starting another Video Blogging Challenge as soon as it’s over.

Last time when I created the Video Blogging Challenge 3, I thought I’d experiment a little bit on the introduction & transition on iMovie. I don’t know the latest iMovie today.

How to find out information on iMovie mp4?

Here I am showing you exactly by taking a screenshot on my computer. Notice I clicked the icon “video blogging challenge.mp4” and it gave me a blue highlite. Then it opens up another window on the left which you can read your file’s information. It’s pretty self-explanatory.

Here’s how you find out information:
• Click your .mp4 or .mov
• Press Command + I = shows your information and how big is the file

If you double click the icon mp4 or mov, it will play the video for you instead of giving you information. However, if you press Command then “i” this will give you the information you need and you can find out how big is your file, what kind is it, is it an “MPEG-4 movie” and so forth.

How to find out what version is your iMovie?

So you are in your iMovie window. You can check your version on iMovie by selecting the About iMovie and then it will show what version of iMovie you have after you let go of the mouse.

So far I am using iMovie 09 for Mac OS X 10.6.8.

If you have any question please do not hesitate to ask me on the commentary window below. Or you can email me on my Contact page above my menu. Hope this help you on creating your next video. Have fun! 🙂

Yet another amazing tutorial. However i dont really use iMovie. I use windows 8 on Dell laptop. For video editing I use Adobe after effects and Adobe premier. They are also great tool for that. Thanks for the amazing tutorial. I would try this on my friend’s Macbook

Thank you very much. Your words are always encouraging. I appreciate it very much. Adobe After Effects are great, I haven’t used it but thinking of getting it. Adobe Premiere is also great for editing videos and movies, I used to have it but deleted it later. Coz now I used Final Cut Pro for more advance editing and creating cool movies.

I’ve only created this tutorial for a new friend coz she has iMovie too but don’t know how to use the cool effects. I know iMovie are for Mac users only. Windows have similar application in that caliber. Anyway…Thank for commenting and taking the time to watch my video. God bless…and may you have a wonderful weekend.

Really informative post, I rarely use my Imac and seems like I’m gonna need to install and use Imovie as it seems really cool. I love to do video effects and play with video animations but I’m really noob in that stuff. But I’m gonna start learning soon.

Yeah, I love iMovie. I have been using this since the mac started having this. So I’m quite familiar with their stuff. But even that, I am still learning because they keep adding new stuff. Once you create your iMovie it’s a great movie!!!
